A Simple Upgrade to an LED Lighting Design

LED lighting has made significant advancements and is now available in various color temperatures and levels of brightness. This is an ideal opportunity to upgrade to a new LED lighting design that features high-quality LEDs and a smart control system.

Why should you consider retrofitting your home's lighting design?

There’s a Better Way to Manage Your Business’s AV Technology

How AI Is Changing Smart Home Control

What AI Integration Means for the Modern Smart Home 

Today, you can ask Alexa to turn on the lights or ask Google Home to play a song—and sometimes it gets it right, while other times it doesn’t. It may not know which smart light you’re referring to or proudly begin playing the wrong song and artist. 

But what if your voice assistant could actually comprehend what you were saying and respond to natural comments like, “It’s too dark in here”? Imagine asking for restaurant recommendations nearby and listening to helpful suggestions while you get ready, then promptly ask it to call to make a reservation. 

Artificial intelligence has been gaining traction and improving in recent years, and the release of ChatGPT has unleashed a world of new possibilities. Josh.ai has been a pioneer of home voice control since 2015, and now Josh is teaming up with ChatGPT for its smart new product, JoshGPT

While more brands are sure to follow, JoshGPT is the first AI-empowered smart home system. Here’s how JoshGPT is changing smart home control. Curious to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems in the Highland Park, TX, area.

Audio Network Protocols for Conference Rooms: AVB or Dante?

People in a meeting room using conference room AV technology.

As organizations embrace modern AV design, many are moving away from outdated analog cabling in favor of digital audio networks that deliver far greater scalability and flexibility. In this article, we’ll be comparing Dante & AVB network solutions to help IT decision-makers and AV managers select the right system for conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-room deployments. We’ll define each protocol, share real-world use cases, and highlight how audio networking standards shape today’s enterprise environments.

Why Shift to Networked Audio?

Traditional point‑to‑point wiring for AV installations imposes limits on room layout, cable length, and scalability. In contrast, an audio networking infrastructure leverages standard Ethernet switches and VLANs to transport hundreds of channels over a single cable. Beyond reducing rack space and cable clutter, this approach accelerates deployment and simplifies maintenance, especially in buildings with existing IP networks.

The Basics – Dante and AVB

Businesses have two leading options when it comes to IP-based audio: Audinate’s Dante and the IEEE’s AVB tool suite. Each protocol routes audio over Ethernet, but they differ in governance, certification requirements, and ecosystem adoption.

Instead, an enterprise-grade network will provide the coverage and speed you really need. What is an enterprise-grade network? We explain all below to help you find the best solutions for your home Wi-Fi

RETROFIT WITH HIGH-QUALITY LED LIGHTS: IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!

A living room illuminated by soft, golden LED recessed lights.

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR HOME’S EXISTING LIGHTING SYSTEM 

Have you heard the news? The sale of incandescent bulbs has officially been banned in the U.S. This ban will reduce carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons in the next three decades, equalling the energy use of the entire population of Texas. 

While this is good news for the environment, many people are unhappy to lose incandescent lights. There’s nothing like the warm glow of a classic Edison bulb, after all. 

However, this doesn’t mean your house will be illuminated by cool, bright lights from now on. LED lighting has come a long way and is now available in many color temperatures and brightness levels. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of a new LED lighting system with high-quality LEDs and a control system. 

Why retrofit? Discover the benefits and see how a lighting installer can transform the atmosphere in your University Park, TX, home. And if you’re ready to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems here.
